Page 45 Review by Stephen

Just in time for our third  yes THIRD  Bryan Lee OMalley signing, behold: the second full-colour volume of SCOTT PILGRIM, that seminal series about the most sensitive, caring, sharing boy in Christendom.

Um, listen I think we should break up or whatever.

WHAT?! No level-up points you, young Scott!

Nathan Fairbairn has done the impossible: taken Page 45s all-time favourite black and white series and enhanced it with colour. Oh, the blasphemy of it all. But it looks so good and it feels so right. Witness that rain-soaked night with the puddles on the pavement: you can almost hear the downpour and smell the wet-dog hair! And then theres the subtle reflection of Ramonas fuscia leggings!

Extras unavailable in the black and white equivalent this time include the 8-page Monica Beetle missed opportunity in which the galaxys sharpest ever flying saucer CRASHES, SLICES and CUTS its way across town and our dumb-struck hero totally fails to ask the heroine out (hmmm), the cover to the Japanese edition, the designs behind The Clash At Demonhead, and comparison photos for the startlingly futuristic Toronto Reference Library, Casa Loma and those lethal steps and railings. Also, some funky fashion items our favourites nearly wore, but thankfully didnt.

Anyway: Kim Pine. Beautifully portrayed in the film  I dont think you could have cast a better Miss Mardy glowering over the drum kit  but woefully cut in terms of screen time. Well, it wouldve all have gotten too complicated! Here: IT GETS COMPLICATED!

Previously in SCOTT PILGRIM VOL 1 COLOUR EDITION: to continue dating Ramona, Scott must defeat her seven evil exes in combat, levelling-up Nintendo-stylee as he does so. BUT: Ramona isnt the only one whos had a complicated love life, and  Knives Chau aside  they all seem to end up in bands! Plus: is Scott finally going to ditch Knives Chau? And if he does so, did he actually pay attention to her name? In fact does Scott pay attention to any one or any thing ever?! Scott ?

Oh, good grief. Too busy fussing about this hair, I expect.
